Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello,

I am trying to determine why my rpi3 keeps crashing (literally I need to unplug it and plug it again) while compiling gcc on it.
Is there a way to understand if this was:

• Power : doubtful, this is connected to a pretty powerful electrical extension and using this raspberry pi charger:

• Temperature ; make -j1 works, make -j2 fails so it could be temperature but I would find it quite strange since I am not even using all of the cores
• any other possibilities?

OOME ?
what is displayed on the screen when it dies ?
tail -f /var/log/syslog
on another terminal when compiling and what does it say when it dies.

do you get brown outs ?
flickering red LED ?

The problem is the temperature. It easily reaches 90C. That's not good.
The screen just stalls from whatever was being displayed. In my case, the compilation log. I probably need some heatsinks and an open case.

What does: report?

Do you have swap enabled on it? When you have to use flash for this, I'd get a separate thumb drive and just put swap on it if possible.

put a heak sink on it and give it some airflow space
